Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Air Resources Board, nor does mention of trade names or commerical products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.) SUMMARY Redline, Inc., a distributor of Italian made Weber carburetors, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit No. K8055 using one (1) Weber model 32/36 DGEV33B1 carburetor. The Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit replaces the original equipment dual S.U. HIF 1—Barrel carburetors on 1968—74 model—year MGB vehicles. The original equipment air cleaner is not retained in the Redline Kit installation. The Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit utilizes an open type air cleaner which the staff has determined does not increase evaporative emissions. A delay valve is added to the gulp valive vacuum control line so that the gulp valve functions pfoperly with the Weber carburetor. An anti— dieseling solenoid is installed in the idle circuit of the Weber carburetor to prevent the engine from running on after the engine has been shut off. Comparative exhaust emission tests demonstrate that the aftermarket Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit No. K8055 using Weber model 32/36 DG@EV33B1 carburetor does not adversely affect emissions. Based on the results of the tests and the evaluation of the Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit, the staff recommends that the exemption be granted as requested for the 1968—74 model—year MGB vehicles equipped with 1.8L "B" series engines.

INTRODUCTION Redline, Inc. of Torrance, California, a subsidiary of Imported Parts and Accessories Corporation (IMPAC), is a distributor of Italian—made Weber carburetors. The company has applied for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for a Carburetor Exchange Kit designated as Redline Kit No. K8055 utilizing one (1) Weber model 32/36 DGEV33B1 carburetor. The Carburetor Exchange Kit is designed to replace the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dual S.U. HIF T—Barrel carburetors as found on 1968—1974 model—year MGB vehicles equipped with 1.81 "B" series engines. This report describes the evaluation of the Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit and the findings. I1. CONCLUSIONS Comparative exhaust emission data and other information submitted by the applicant demonstrated that the Redline kit using one (1) Weber mode! 32/36 DGEV33B1 carburetor meets the Air Resources Board (ARB) requirements for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. III. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the submitted comparative data of the Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit, the staff recommends that Redline, Inc. be granted exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the Redline Carburetor Exchange Kit No. K8055 using one (1) model 32/36 DGEY33B1 Weber carburetor for 1968—74 model—year vehicles equipped with 1.8L "B" series engines. IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The RedTine Carburetor Exchange Kit No. K8055 uses one (1) Weber model 32/36 DGEV33B1 carburetor to replace the OEM dual S.U. HIF 1—Barre] carburetors. The S.U. HIF 1—Barrel is a single barrel sidedraft carburetor; its venturi area is automatically changed according to engine air intake. The amount of fuel passing through the main jet is governed by a tapered needle which moves proportional to the engine air intake. A choke valve and auxiliary nozzle are used for cold starting. Main components of the carburetor consist of: a float chamber, suction chamber, suction piston, piston damper, metering needle and jet, throttle valve body, choke valve and auxiliary nozzle (See Appendix A). The Weber 32/36 DGEV33B1 carburetor is a progressive two—barrel down draft design (see Appendix A). The Weber carburetor uses a mechanically— operated secondary which starts to open after the primary throttle opens approximately 68 percent. A diaphram type accelerator pump is actuated by throttle movement and injects fuel into the primary barrel. The Weber is fitted with an anti—dieseling valve in the idle circuit which shuts off the fuel supply to the idle circuit whenever the ignition is switched off. The addition of this anti—dieseling valve upgrades the emission control of the MGB vehicles since the OEM carburetors were not equipped with such a device. The DGEVY model Weber carburetor is fitted with an electric choke which is more accurate and consistent than the manual choke used on the OEM carburetors. Included in the Redline kit is the Weber carburetor, intake manifold, air cleaner, throttle linkage, and all necessary hoses, clamps and fasteners needed to install the Weber carburetor correctly.
